Private Equity Career Roadmap (optional)

“The mentor was very knowledgeable and experienced and have a similar background as me being also an international student, so a lot of the anecdotes he provided feel really relatable and resonates with me. He also provided me with a clear timeline as to what I should do NOW, and answered the questions I posed very directly, which I appreciate. ”

Private Equity 7 Stories Review

“Very useful session. Arnau gave direct, actionable feedback on my TMAY and 7 stories: flip the pitch to lead with my current role and impact, keep it to ~90s, state the strength first and back it with one example, and use STAR bullets instead of scripts. Great tips on leading with the conclusion and tailoring depth to the interviewer.”
